What happened isn’t right—that’s how I feel when I hear our clients’ stories. Being a lawyer lets me use a powerful set of tools to fix things that aren’t right. It’s a way to hold big companies and governments accountable. It’s a chance to use reason and empathy to explain someone’s story. And it’s a way to comfort and guide someone through crisis.
